You KNOW I love it!!! Boys were meant to play in the mud (and girls were, too, but we just keep buying into all the girly girl stuff...). But I know too darn many boys who don't want to get dirty--what is UP with that? I say just get rubber boots (yep.. you got 'em) and shop the clearance section for really, really cheap clothes (or, just let them finish trashing the stuff they've outgrown and already got a little dirty). Teach them to put on their "mud clothes" and let 'er rip! IB will always be grateful that he had a mommy who let him play in the mud (along with so many other reasons....). Really.. if I don't move to the northwest, could you move south? hee hee....

Oh, yes...spring is the worst for laundry. Once they stain up the clothes I just make them wear those everytime they go outside. I remember when Anya was at daycare when she was crawling in the spring. A little before she was one. They would let her crawl outside. As you can imagine I was not happy with the state of her clothes, so I just left some jeans I didn't care too much for and told them to change her before they let her crawl outside so less clothes would be ruined. Those kids sure know how to ruin clothes! ;)
